MediaKind has
launched the CE1, which it claims is heralding a new era for professional
contribution video processing.
The CE1 is a
next-generation media contribution encoder based on cloud-ready software,
coupled with hardware acceleration. It enables exceptional time-to-market for
new video offerings while facilitating highly immersive and compelling
experiences.
Combined with
MediaKind’s multi-codec and multi-service professional decoder, the RX1, the
CE1 enables an end-to-end media contribution workflow that is more resilient
and future-ready than existing professional media contribution processing and
delivery solutions.
The enhanced
solution provides an immediate response to anticipated changes in professional
media contribution, thus enabling broadcasters, operators and service providers
to transition to all-IP and the cloud, integrate existing and future codecs and
standards, as well as embrace new flexible business models.
The CE1 is
available as a cloud-native deployment model and can integrate with public
cloud providers to enable broadcast-quality contribution to the cloud. CE1
software is also available within a hardware platform, giving broadcasters the
option to run their services on-premise.
Raul Aldrey, Chief
Product Officer, MediaKind, said: “The launch of our flexible, software-based CE1
encoding platform provides secure, high-quality professional content
contribution. In conjunction with MediaKind’s RX1 platform, CE1 delivers a
resilient, cloud-ready, secure video contribution workflow, which enables the
delivery of next-generation media.”
The CE1 delivers
low latency, HEVC, or MPEG-4 AVC encoding of HD and UHD video content for
premium live events. A flexible and robust product, the CE1 provides a platform
to support high-quality, 4:2:2 10-bit content contribution into the cloud.
